Is there a stable isotope evidence for the CO2 fertilization effect?     

R. V. Krishnamurthy  M. Machavaram 《Journal of Earth System Science》2000,109(1):141-144

It has been suggested that part of the so-called “missing sink” of carbon dioxide introduced into the atmosphere by anthropogenic activities, that is the imbalance between estimated anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions and oceanic uptake, may be stored in the vegetation in midlatitudes. Precise mechanisms of abstraction of additional carbon dioxide by vegetation, also known as the “fertilization effect”, are poorly understood. Stable carbon and hydrogen isotope ratios of cellulose extracted from annual growth rings (covering the time period 1980–1993) in an oak tree from Kalamazoo, SW Michigan provide a basis to investigate at a physiological level how the fertilization effect may operate. The carbon isotope ratios show that the intercellular concentration of carbon dioxide increased due to an increase in stomatal opening. Although increased intercellular concentration of carbon dioxide translated to increased Water Use Efficiency and assimilation rates, it also resulted in increased transpiration rate as shown by higher D/H of the fixed carbon. The two-fold significance of the isotope data are: first, they provide the first field evidence based on isotope studies for excess CO₂ induced biomass production and second, they suggest that this mechanism is likely to operate only in limited environments. Vegetation in regions where moisture availability is not restricted so that there can be a gain in water use efficiency despite increased leaf evaporation are best suited to sequester excess carbon from the atmosphere.  相似文献   

PECULIARITIES OF LONG TERM VARIATION OF SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURE IN TROPICAL WESTERN PACIFIC OCEAN   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  

王盘兴  何金海  张苏平 《热带气象学报(英文版)》2000,6(2):172-178

It is necessary to study the tropical western Pacific SST in association with variations of other parts of the globe. Two basic compositions are revealed of long-term variation in SST over three major tropical oceans since the 1950's (linear warming and El Nino-La Nina oscillations) and typical patterns with which they are displayed over the oceans are compared. On the basis of it, difference in long-term variation of SST over western, central and eastern tropical Pacific is analyzed in details. It is pointed out that the El Nino-La Nina oscillations are relatively weak in the long-term variation of SST in the tropical western Pacific and linear warming trend there is replaced by interdecadal oscillations. Further understanding of the peculiarity over the region helps improve short-term climatic predictions in China.  相似文献

Inhibition of Fertilization and Larval Metamorphosis of the Coral Acropora millepora (Ehrenberg, 1834) by Petroleum Products     

Andrew P. Negri  Andrew J. Heyward 《Marine pollution bulletin》2000,41(7-12):420-427

Accidental oil spills from ships or rigs and inputs of effluent such as production formation water (PFW) are key perceived threats to tropical biota from industry activities. Scleractinian corals are an important functional component of tropical reefs and the abundance, diversity and resilience of coral communities can be used as an indicator of ecosystem health. In this paper, we report the effects of petroleum products, including water accommodated fractions (WAF) of crude oil, PFW and dispersant (Corexit 9527), on fertilization and larval metamorphosis of the widespread scleractinian coral, Acropora millepora (Ehrenberg, 1834) in laboratory-based assays. At 20% v/v PFW fertilization was inhibited by 25%. This concentration was equivalent 0.0721 mg l⁻¹ total hydrocarbon (THC). In contrast, larval metamorphosis was more sensitive to this effluent, with 98% metamorphosis inhibited at the same concentration. Crude oil WAF did not inhibit fertilization of gametes until dispersant was introduced. Dispersed oil was slightly more toxic to fertilization than dispersant alone, suggesting toxicity to that event may be additive. The minimum concentration of dispersed oil which inhibited fertilization was 0.0325 mg l⁻¹ THC. Larval metamorphosis was more sensitive than fertilization to crude oil. Although crude oil and dispersant inhibited larval metamorphosis individually, this toxicity was magnified when larvae were exposed to combinations of both. Crude oil inhibited metamorphosis at 0.0824 mg l⁻¹ THC and at 0.0325 mg l⁻¹ THC when dispersed in 10% v/v (dispersant/oil). Management of petroleum-related risks to spawning corals should consider not only the occurrence of the annual coral spawning event, but also the subsequent 1–3-week period during which most larval metamorphosis and recruitment occur.  相似文献

根据太湖南部长兴县农业统计资料,对该地区1949~2002年农业用地上N、P的剩余量作出评估。评估结果认为,1949~2002年期间,单位农业用地面积的N、P剩余量具有显著地增加趋势。20世纪50及60年代期间,N的剩余量增加缓慢,自70年代中期以后增加迅速。1996年达到历史最大值。1996年后,N剩余量呈现减少趋势。60年代初期以前,P处于亏损状态。1975~1980年期间,P剩余量呈现缓慢增长趋势,其后出现回落,自80年代中期以后出现迅速增加趋势。1992~1998年期间,P剩余量维持在35~45 kg/(hm²·a)之间的高水平变化,自1999年以后出现显著回落。  相似文献   

广州地区酸雨长期变化趋势分析   总被引：4，自引：0，他引：4  

王志春 《气象科技》2014,42(5):922-927

根据1992—2012年的酸雨观测记录,对广州地区的酸雨变化特征及其长期趋势进行了统计分析。结果表明,近21年,广州地区酸雨年、季、月变化明显,降水年均pH最低出现在1998年,其年均pH为3.43,最高出现在2012年,其年均pH为4.65。降水pH大体经历了两个阶段,1998年以前降水pH呈现波动式下降,平均变化率约为-0.14a-1,1999年后降水pH逐年增大,特别是2009年后降水pH稳步增长,平均变化率约为0.03a-1;春季酸雨污染严重,夏、秋季次之,而冬季酸雨污染相对较轻;各月降水pH均较低,pH最高月出现在12月,平均值为4.36,2月pH最低,为3.95。在污染源稳定的情况下,降水强度影响pH,降水量增大时,降水pH越高,降水电导率K也越低;风速越大,降水pH则越高,降水电导率K则越小,酸雨发生频率也越小;风向影响降水pH,出现偏西风时,酸雨污染相对严重。  相似文献   

施肥对新垦绿洲风沙土肥力及碳积累的影响     

苏永中  杨荣  刘婷娜 《中国沙漠》2019,39(3):1-6

利用2005年安排在临泽边缘绿洲沙地农田的长期施肥定位试验,研究不同用量有机肥、化肥、有机肥和化肥配施对绿洲沙地土壤肥力及有机碳积累的影响。试验包括高量有机肥单施(M3),氮磷化肥单施(NP3),低、中、高量氮磷钾化肥单施(NPK1,NPK2,NPK3),及低、中、高量氮磷钾化肥配施高、中、低量有机肥9个处理(NPK1M3,NPK2M2,NPK3M1),测定分析10年后不同施肥处理耕层(0~20 cm)土壤物理化学性状特征及有机碳动态。结果表明:施有机肥及有机无机配施处理较单施化肥处理容重下降0.13 g·cm^-3,田间持水量提高6.7%,单施有机肥、有机无机配施较单施化肥,土壤有机碳(SOC)和全氮含量分别提高64.8%、36.3%和64.9%、49.5%。高量施用氮磷化肥和氮磷钾化肥处理全磷含量最高,有机肥及有机无机配施较单施化肥有效氮含量显著增加,有机无机配施及高量施用磷肥土壤有效磷积累明显,高量施用有机肥能显著提升有效钾含量。连续施肥处理10年后,SOC含量提高了1.68~2.84倍,土壤全氮、全磷、碱解氮及有效磷均有一定程度的提高,但单施化肥及有机肥与氮磷化肥配施有效钾含量下降。SOC的积累速率单施化肥、有机无机配施、单施有机肥处理分别为0.27、0.59,0.87 g·kg^-1·a^-1。增施有机肥、适量减少化肥投入、氮磷钾化肥的平衡施用是绿洲沙地农田土壤肥力持续提升的施肥管理对策。  相似文献   

中国半干旱草原施氮梯度下的土壤激发效应（英文）     

李悦  聂成  邵蕊  杜薇  刘颖慧 《资源与生态学报(英文版)》2019,(2):147-154

为了探究施氮对土壤有机质(SOM)的激发效应,本研究在施氮梯度样地(0、4和16 g N m^–2 yr^–1)上进行了¹³C标记葡萄糖的原位添加实验,并对土壤CO_2排放量和磷脂脂肪酸(PLFA)含量进行了测定。研究发现施氮降低了土壤CO_2排放、土壤PLFA含量以及土壤真菌细菌比。在0 g N m^–2 yr^–1样地上葡萄糖添加导致的正向激发效应最强,同时4 g N m^–2 yr^–1样地释放的葡萄糖来源的碳最多。因此,施氮减少了土壤中SOM转化产生的CO_2,微生物碳的来源由SOM转变为添加的易分解碳。本研究采样早期土壤微生物生物量和群落结构稳定,表明该草原存在"表观激发效应",因此未来研究应着重对微生物功能的多样性进行探讨。  相似文献   

全新世以来珠江三角洲海鸥沙形成过程的地貌动力学分析     

莫文渊  韦惺  吴超羽 《热带海洋学报》2019,38(3):68-78

海鸥沙是珠江三角洲一个极富特色的沉积砂体。本文基于钻孔资料并结合长周期“动力-沉积-形态”模型, 从沉积学和地貌动力学角度对全新世以来海鸥沙的形成演变过程进行了探讨。海欧沙在全新世的沉积层序自下而上分别为河流相、河口湾浅海相和三角洲相。全新世海侵盛期以来, 虎门涨潮射流和东北—西南向涨落潮流是影响海鸥沙形成演变的主要动力。6000—2500a BP, 受东北—西南向涨落潮流的影响, 海鸥沙中北部地区一直处于冲刷无沉积状态, 由虎门涨潮射流带来的泥沙主要在海鸥沙南部沉积, 沉积速率约为0.67mm·a ^-1; 2500—1700a BP, 随着番禺平原的发育, 东北—西南向涨落潮流逐渐消弱, 海鸥沙进入一个快速沉积期, 平均沉积速率约为15mm·a ^-1, 沉积由两端向中间发展; 1700—600a BP, 随着沙湾水道的形成, 海鸥沙中部迅速发展, 至600a BP左右, 海鸥沙基本形成并出露水面。  相似文献   

珠江三角洲中部子平原形成演变机理研究——以大鳌平原为例   总被引：8，自引：1，他引：7

海侵盛期以来珠江三角洲的形成演进受到原始地貌的控制,潮汐动力和河流作用被复杂的地貌单元分割和重塑.珠江三角洲中部平原依据其演进过程的空间位置和边界,相关的动力系统可以分成若干子平原,分别是番禺平原、顺德平原和大鳌平原.文章着重报道大鳌平原海侵盛期以来的形成演变机理的研究成果.基于收集的1700余个各类钻孔资料和本课题野外钻取的18个钻孔,进行了210个14C测年和沉积物粒度等相关分析,应用本课题开发的PRD-LTMM长周期'动力-沉积-形态'模型计算6000年以来的古珠江河口湾的流场、泥沙浓度场、冲淤厚度和岸线演变,以及对上述结果的地貌动力分析,揭示了大鳌子平原各主要沉积体的形成演变过程以及沉积动力机理.结果表明:1)大鳌子平原是外部海洋和河流等动力经过古磨刀门、古横门和五桂山所改造的复杂地貌动力环境下形成的; 2)大鳌子平原可以依据其沉积动力结构进一步分成至少3个主要的动力沉积单元,分别是古磨刀门大鳌沙涨潮三角洲、五桂山北麓边沿沉积体和磨刀门-古横门汇潮点沉积体; 3)3000～2500aB.P.的短暂高海面,导致古海湾纳潮量相应增大,出现大鳌沙第2次高沉积期.反映了局部小尺度动力结构与三角洲地形演进及海洋动力变化的密切互动关系.  相似文献
